Whitley Warriors are saddened to learn of the passing of Andre Payette. Andre was a dedicated servant to ice hockey and his unique brand entertained and inspired many. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time. RIP Wild Thing.

And so to the Hillheads Player of the Year 2019-20. He's been rock solid on the blue line and just as dangerous going forward. He's dazzled us with skill and dexterity while always keeping a cool head. We're delighted that this year's award goes to Rolands Gritāns!

We're saddened to learn of the passing of former Durham Wasps captain and coach Paul Smith. Although he was our foe on the ice, he was also an ambassador of the sport for the north east in the heyday of the hockey hotbed. Or thoughts are with his family and friends.
